Abstract

In order to understand biogeochemical cycles of organic carbon in the permeable intertidal sandy sediments of the Nakdong estuary, we estimated the organic carbon production and consumption rates both in situ and in the laboratory. The Chl-a content of the sediment and the nutrient concentrations in below surface pore water in the sandy sediment were lower than in the muddy sediment. The sediment oxygen consumption rates were relatively high, especially when compared with rates reported from other coastal muddy sediments with higher organic carbon contents. This implied that both the organic carbon degradation and material transport in the sandy sediment were enhanced by advection-related process. The simple mass balance estimation of organic carbon fluxes showed that the major sources of carbon in the sediment would originate from benthic microalgae and detrital organic carbon derived from salt marsh. The daily natural biocatalzed filtration, extrapolated from filtration rates and the total area of the Nakdong estuary, was one order higher than the maximum capability of sewage plants in Busan metropolitan city. This implies that the sandy sediment contributes greatly to biogeochemical purification in the area, and is important for the re-distribution of materials in the coastal environment.

투수성이 큰 낙동강 하구 사질 갯벌 퇴적물에서 유기탄소의 생지화학적 순환을 이해하기 위해 현장과 실험실에서 유기탄소 생산 및 소비에 대한 정보를 추정했다. 퇴적물 상부층의 Chl-a 농도와 공극수의 영양염 농도는 니질 퇴적물에 비해 낮았다. 반면, 사질 퇴적물의 산소소모율은 유기물 함량이 높은 연안 니질 퇴적물 보다 높아 이류에 의한 유기탄소의 분해와 물질의 이동이 큰 것을 의미했다. 간단한 유기탄소의 물질수지는 퇴적물에서 유기탄소의 주 공급원이 퇴적물 표층에 서식하는 저서미세조류와 수생식물의 쇄설성 유기물로 나타났다. 해수 여과율에 낙동강 전체 면적을 외삽한 일당 자연 생촉매 여과양은 부산시 7개 주요 하수종말처리장의 최대 처리량 보다 한 자리수 이상 크게 나타나 연안환경에서 사질퇴적물이 생지화학적 정화와 물질의 재분배에 매우 큰 기여를 할 것으로 판단된다.
